THE PREMED LIFEBOAT
THE PREMED LIFEBOAT
Baffour Amponsah-Antwi
As creator of this podcast, I recognize the severity of the premed journey. THE PREMED LIFEBOAT is here to provide a great way of motivation, real guidelines, and upfront informational interviews with various medical professionals, expounding on the vastness of the medical field and the various paths available. It's my goal to help you and your friends and classmates who are found on the many different decks of this premedical ship. The lifeboat is here y'all. Enjoy the ride. Along this journey, there will be turbulence on this known medical sea, but know that you aren't in this fight alone!
